Chapter 76

" Ting Hao." It's not that Ting Hao didn't want to keep it a secret; it's just that his skills and appearance were such that the woman would only need to ask her master to find out. So, he no longer hid it.

"Thank you!" The woman bowed deeply to Ting Hao.

"You're welcome!" Ting Hao clearly didn't expect such a cold and proud woman to bow so deeply to him. It seemed she must have been well-educated from a young age.

By the time the woman raised her head, Ting Hao was already several meters away. Ting Hao was in a hurry; his car was still in Meijiawu. Although he had saved this woman, Ting Hao didn't want to ask his master for money like he did last time. Master's sleazy appearance made Ting Hao feel that not taking advantage of him would be a loss. But this woman, he felt, was someone he couldn't provoke, so it was better to retreat early!

The woman stood in front of the car, silent for several minutes, thinking how strange this young man was, strange in a way that was hard to fathom. Then she got into the car and picked up the car phone to make a call!

Ting Hao calmly returned to the farmhouse where he had been drinking tea, settled the bill, and drove home. The reason he didn't go back to check on the bodyguards was that Ting Hao felt that if the people with the dragon pendants couldn't save them, he would just be adding to the chaos if he went.

If the high-ranking officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces knew about Ting Hao's calmness, they would probably be envious to death. At that moment, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were in an uproar, with all the special police mobilized, and even experts like Liu Yiding rushed back to Qianjiang in a hurry.

The woman Ting Hao saved was none other than Qiao Yunna, the daughter of Qiao Siping, the Secretary of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Committee. If Qiao Siping were just an ordinary provincial secretary, it would be one thing. But at the beginning of the year, the Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau had already decided that Qiao Siping would be one of the candidates for the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau at the party congress in September, and it was rumored that he might rank fifth, which would mean he would become the Vice President of the country, and might even become the top leader of the Central Committee in the next term.

If the daughter of such a person were killed in Qianjiang, what would Qiao Siping do?

Ting Hao didn't know these things, and he didn't care. Last time, saving Liu Yiding offended an expert, or rather, a family. This time, he didn't know which family he had offended, plus Xia Lin's cousin...

He didn't want to have money but no life to spend it. Besides, at this level, if they really wanted to thank you, they would arrange it for you without you asking. Last time, Liu Yiding gave him a villa and tens of thousands of cash, and even Baihu sent him a check and a promise to follow orders at any time!

Of course, what Ting Hao was more afraid of was that Liu Yiding had knocked him out to test him and then investigated him overnight. This time, he didn't know what they would do. His mood was good in the morning, and the tea environment was nice, but after the rescue, Ting Hao became depressed. He didn't go out at noon or in the evening, staying in the magic space to vent his frustration on monsters!

It's hard to do good deeds in this world, and it's even harder to be a good person!

After fighting until he was tired, Ting Hao couldn't sleep. He first thought of the female expert in disguise, whom he had grabbed hard, probably hurting her. Then he thought of the woman he had saved, with her sexy lips...

Ting Hao didn't realize that from the moment he saved Liu Yiding, his peaceful life had already been disrupted. His talent had been exposed!

The reason those people hadn't taken action yet was not only because of Liu Yiding's strength but also because the upcoming party congress required them to focus all their energy on ensuring its smooth running, or to cause some minor disruptions. Although Ting Hao's skills were good, he had no sect, no family support, and was ultimately just a small force.

On the third day after the incident, Ting Hao was about to take a nap when he received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello, is this Ting Hao?" A strange female voice came from the other end of the line.

"Yes, this is Ting Hao. Who is this?"

"I'm Qiao Yunna. I'll be at your place in a few minutes. Come out, I need to talk to you."

Qiao Yunna? Who is she, I don't know you... Hello, hello... Ting Hao wanted to ask who she was, but the call was already disconnected.

Damn, who is this, so domineering? She knows my name and where I live, and she seems to have something to talk to me about. Who could it be? Forget it, I'll go out and see.

Ting Hao tidied up and went downstairs to wait at the door.

As soon as he got to the door, a brand new white Audi R8 stopped, and a woman got out.

The woman had a fair and smooth face, with a cold and handsome demeanor. Her deep, black eyes shone with a captivating color. Her thick eyebrows, high nose, and beautiful lips all exuded nobility and elegance.

Her thick eyebrows were slightly raised, and her long, slightly curly eyelashes framed eyes as clear as morning dew. Her straight nose and rose-petal-pink lips, along with her fair skin...

Her hair was shoulder-length, and she wore a light blue dress and black high heels. Another beauty, when did I, Ting Hao, get to know such a woman?

"Don't you recognize me?"

"You are..." Ting Hao tried to recall, oh, isn't this the woman I saved that day? That day, he was so focused on saving her that he only noticed her chest and gave her CPR. Now, looking at her as a whole, wow, she seems even more charming...

"Still standing there? Get in the car." Qiao Yunna invited him, and Ting Hao, after a moment, made a gesture to let her in, then stood by the car door, his left hand protecting the top of the door, indicating that ladies should go first. Qiao Yunna didn't hesitate, smiled, and got into the car.

Ting Hao was about to close the door and go to the passenger seat but found someone already sitting there. He looked at Qiao Yunna helplessly, and she glanced at the seat beside her, indicating that his seat was there.

Just that glance made Ting Hao feel very comfortable. After Qiao Yunna woke up, Ting Hao thought she was quite stern and best to avoid. But today, she seemed quite friendly. Did she change her mind? Or was it because he kissed her a few times that she became this gentle?

He closed the car door, and the car immediately started, with two black Audi cars following closely behind.

"Hello, I'm Qiao Yunna, Qiao Siping's daughter." The woman extended her right hand and smiled at Ting Hao.

"Hello!" Although Ting Hao had just returned to Qianjiang, he knew who Qiao Siping was! This explained why Qiao Yunna had a dragon pendant.

After shaking hands, Qiao Yunna took out a business card from her handbag and handed it to Ting Hao.

Ting Hao looked at the card, which had only a name and a phone number. It made sense; for someone at her level, titles were just fluff. Having their contact information was what really mattered.

"Mr. Ting, I haven't had the chance to thank you properly for saving me that day. I only managed to find time today to invite you for tea as a token of gratitude."

"There's no need to be so formal. I was just drinking tea nearby that day, and it was just a small favor." Although Ting Hao knew that this woman wouldn't have invited him out just for tea, he still needed to be polite on the surface.

"To you, it might have been a small favor, but to me, my parents, and my family, you truly saved my life and avoided many unnecessary troubles and innocent sacrifices. Where do you work, Mr. Ting?" Qiao Yunna had already learned about Ting Hao's identity through Liu Yiding, but since Ting Hao didn't want to say, she pretended not to know.

"Oh, sorry, I'm currently staying at home." Ting Hao answered while thinking, this woman could find my phone and address just from my name; she must know I'm a student about to start university. This number was given by Liu Yiding, and probably no more than ten people in all of China know it. But she was smiling and said she came to thank me for saving her life, so I can't just yell at her.

"Do you have any interest in working for my family? My father is looking for a head of security. If you're not comfortable with that, you can work with me. My father always assigns me a bunch of bodyguards, but I think they're no match for you. If you're willing, I won't have to go out with a large entourage anymore." As she spoke, Qiao Yunna's face showed a playful expression, like a little girl's.

It seems even high-ranking officials' children have their troubles. But Qiao Yunna's words scared Ting Hao. She must have been speaking on her father's behalf, and perhaps with Liu Yiding's recommendation. The head of security for the Secretary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, and a future top leader's bodyguard...

Even if he were just Qiao Yunna's bodyguard, the future would be bright... But Ting Hao quickly made a decision. He had more important tasks, like finding his family! If he became a bodyguard, he would lose his freedom and might not even be able to go to university.

"Sorry, Miss Qiao, I'm used to a free and easy life. I don't think the job you mentioned would suit me." As he spoke, Ting Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking whether this lady was joking or serious, he couldn't handle it.

As the saying goes, once you enter the gates of the nobility, the sea is deep. This job might look glamorous, but it comes with constant danger. Qiao Yunna was attacked just a few days ago, and although such incidents are rare, if it happened once, even if he didn't die on the spot, he would likely suffer a significant loss of strength...

Besides, although Qiao Yunna was smiling now, he had seen her serious side. And he had kissed her a few times when saving her. Ting Hao admitted he loved money and had a bit of a lust for power, but this position really wasn't suitable for him.

"Oh, you're really stubborn, just as Uncle Liu said."

Damn, Liu Yiding is involved. Good thing I refused; otherwise, the old man might have been disappointed, even if he didn't say it. He had said Ting Hao was a valuable asset to the Yanlong organization.

Although working as a bodyguard for a leader would also be serving the country, it would be even less free and more dangerous than being in the Yanlong organization. Was he greedy for a position as a head of security?
